"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love
I get mixed emotions...it's the way my feelings flow
Excuse me I'm only human...sometimes I...I just don't know
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(do do do do do...back in love again...do do do do do)
Back in love
When you put your arms around me...I feel so satisfied
I want to love you forever...I just can't...I can't decide
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
Back in love...again
Now it's your lover...I know it's hard just to be a friend
That's something else I discovered...I guess I just don't ever want it to end
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again...seems like, seems like)
That I'm back in love...again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
I'm back in love again
I just don't believe it...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I can't believe it
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...I'm back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...oh my love Jones coming down
Back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Alright...alright...alright
(I'm back, I'm back) Help me, help me, help me...back in love
(I'm back, I'm back) Oh yeah...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...yes I do
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love
I get mixed emotions...it's the way my feelings flow
Excuse me I'm only human...sometimes I...I just don't know
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(do do do do do...back in love again...do do do do do)
Back in love
When you put your arms around me...I feel so satisfied
I want to love you forever...I just can't...I can't decide
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
Back in love...again
Now it's your lover...I know it's hard just to be a friend
That's something else I discovered...I guess I just don't ever want it to end
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again...seems like, seems like)
That I'm back in love...again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
I'm back in love again
I just don't believe it...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I can't believe it
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...I'm back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...oh my love Jones coming down
Back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Alright...alright...alright
(I'm back, I'm back) Help me, help me, help me...back in love
(I'm back, I'm back) Oh yeah...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...yes I do

Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
